On at 4.05, 26 min, full stage.  I must confess that this playlet does not come up to my expectations.  The sketch is a highly improbably affair, but is saved by Gillette’s name and the really excellent manner in which it is played, the cast being practically perfect.  As a sketch I do not think that it compares for a moment with “Marse Covington”, but it can be made to draw through the use of Gillette’s name.  I would not advise playing it anywhere except in the closing spot.
